POEM STARTER
Compose a ghazal about a love that transcends decades, weathering all life's trials.
A ghazal is an Arabic poem that consists of a minimum of five couplets, with the second line of each couplet always ending with the same word. They are usually about the beauty of love in spite of difficulty.
Mine
In every argument you always cross a line
Each win you get still feels like mine
Silence is abundant when we dine
The food you prepared still tastes like it’s mine
You sing off key sounding more like a whine
Those broken notes still sound like they’re mine
You douse yourself in perfume, getting a shine
The overwhelming scent still smell like it’s mine
When you stress you turn to food and wine
All the extra pounds still look like they’re mine
Though we are not always fine
I know you’ll always be mine
